Campervantastic is a family run business that started in 2007 after my wife Kate and I bought our first VW California campervan and embarked on a 14-week adventure with our 2 and 3-year old boys (read our story below). The Campervantastic team are all highly skilled 'Adventure Consultants' with a wealth of campervanning experience touring across Europe and the UK. From half term dashes to France, Greek beach getaways with sweltering temperatures above 46C and sub zero alpine ski conditions below -27C in Norway, as well as free camping in the Latvian forests and Moroccan beaches, you name it we've done it. Over 18 years Campervantastic has grown to become the UK's leading VW campervan specialists, understanding the needs and desires of campervan newbies and enthusiasts alike and are recognised by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for our passion and knowledge.

OUR STORY - THE LUMLEY'S BIG ADVENTURE: Adventure is in our blood, both myself and my wife Kate are experienced and seasoned travellers, we have backpacked, camped and travelled extensively across Europe, India and Africa. I have trekked across the mountains of Nepal and through the wilderness and glaciers of Alaska raising much needed funds for Sense the UK's Deafblind and Rubella Charity and have climbed Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro for Water Aid. The Campervantastic journey began in 2006 when I took full advantage of redundancy and turned this into an opportunity to buy our first VW California T4 campervan. What followed was an amazing 14-week European adventure through France, Italy and Greece (see pics below) that was to inspire Kate and I into starting a company hiring out modern factory built campervans. This amazing family adventure led us to rediscover our love for Europe and sparked a new love - our very first campervan! To read the Volks World Camper Bus magazine feature, Family Way, click here.

Together with the assistance of our "Vantastic" crew we bring you a wealth of practical experience and an alternative way to travel, where you take control of when and where to go in the comfort of a well equipped campervan. "The journey, not the arrival matters" TS Eliot.
